Question

I have a request that returns a large xml file. I have the file in a XmlDocument type in my application. From that Doc how can I read an element like this:

<gphoto:videostatus>final</gphoto:videostatus>

I would like to pull that value final from that element. Also If i have multiple elements as well, can I pull that into a list? thanks for any advice.

If you already have an XmlDocument then you can use the function GetElementsByTagName() to create an XmlNodeList that can be accessed similar to an array.

//Create the XmlDocument.
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("books.xml");

//Display all the book titles.
XmlNodeList elemList = doc.GetElementsByTagName("title");
for (int i=0; i < elemList.Count; i++)
{   
  Console.WriteLine(elemList[i].InnerXml);
}
